A Matter of Pride
Posted: February 28, 2008 Filed under: Way of Kings Leave a commentConsumer reports put out their list of the top ten cars for 2008. Of the top ten cars 7 were Japanese cars, 1 was American, and 2 were Korean!
The Hyundai (which by the way is pronounced hyun-day, not hun-die) cars to win the honor are the Elantra and the Santa Fe. It is a big step for Korean automakers. It wasn’t too long ago that they weren’t exactly known for their build quality in the US.
NIMH?

So… he looks WAY bigger than P2 in this picture, but he is really only about half the size.So now we have a new rat-friend. I’m not as generous as Roni, so I’ll skip straight to the last step and let you vote for my favorite names.
– NIMH – because the book is awesome, and so is the movie. As an added bonus, “nim” in Korean means “beloved one”
– Nicodemus – because he is one cool rat in the book “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”
– Boris – I dunno… I think his fur color is like those Russian hats (not so much in the picture, but in real life)
Maybe Just a Little Bit Judgmental

I know that it is a little judgmental of me to think this way… but I can’t help it. Whenever I see a teenage girl carrying around an iPhone, I hear in my head, “spoiled brat, spoiled brat, spoiled brat, spoiled brat.” I am OK with adults having them, even if they are mostly a status symbol. But there is something wrong with a teenager having a toy that at a minimum costs $1800 (if you factor in the two year contract).
